That will make a good pale ale, but with only 1oz of hops it will be a little on the weak side (hop taste not ABV). I would recommend getting one more ounce of cascades, and you'll have a nice brew. In fact this is very similar to my first brew, only I used 6.5# LME, 2oz Cascades and Wyeast 1056 yeast.

If you're able to get another ounce, I'd use these intervals: .5oz for 60m, .5oz for 15m, 1oz for 5m. This will give you a nice flavorful, aromatic Pale Ale. As for the 3 gallon pot, you can just top off the fermenter to 5 gallons with pre-boiled but cool water. Your other option is to get another pot and do a split boil, but this will complicate your hop addition and double your evaporation rate.

That's exactly what I was going to say! do you have any other hops types that you can sub in for the bittering?

well i got all that in a kit , its my first batch so i thought it would be pretty simple,, but the kit came with no guide whatsoever, just the ingredients and a reciept..so i guess theres going to be some stping involved. but when? before or after the LME goes in?
i have no other hops type.. it all came in a kit..

Unless you're cascade hops have an unusually high AA%, you're going to need more hops. If they're run-of-the-mill 6%-ish cascade and you use them all for bittering, you'll end up with about 20 IBUs in a ~1.050 OG beer. (EDIT: forgot about the concentrated boil, which will drop your IBUs even further. You should also probably do a late-extract addition, even if you do come up with additional hops) You'd probably want at least 30, maybe 40 IBU.

Another ounce of hops and a schedule liek TwoHeads suggested, and you'll be in good shape.

Where'd you get this kit, anyway? And what type of beer did they say it would make?
